User Reviews

Users praise the app for its strong Torah content and improved design, and its ease of use on the go. However, many reviews cite stability problems, iOS compatibility gaps, and missing features like offline downloads, playback speed/seek controls, and better navigation. Addressing reliability and feature gaps could significantly lift overall satisfaction.

Pros

High-quality Torah content with a wide range of shiurim available through the app.
Well-made, user-friendly design that is easier to use than the mobile website.
Recent updates/redesign have improved look and usability and restored functionality.
Convenient for listening on the go (in the car, during commutes).

Cons

Frequent freezing/crashing and general instability across devices.
Outdated compatibility and support for newer iOS versions (e.g., iOS 11) leading to mandatory updates.
Lack of offline listening: no option to download shiurim for offline use.
Missing playback controls: no speed adjustment, no seek/rewind, and occasional playback stops.
Navigation/UX issues: missing back buttons on screens, poor filtering, and lack of bookmarks or source sheets.

Great app

This is a great app, and I used it regularly. However, it stopped playing any shiurim. After troubleshooting every way I could think of, I reached out 4 times to try to get assistance but without response. Several hours after resetting my password yet again - and still hearing no response from them - I accidentally tried it again and lo and behold it worked. However, it only played one shiur before stopping playing again. I recognize most people aren’t sending them tzedukah for a free app/shiurim like I’ve been for years, but frankly I’d still expect some response, at least a form email. Otherwise I’d give the app 5 stars. At this point I’m giving up
